WASHINGTON, JANUARY 3, 1887
JEREMIAH BLACK ON THE RAIL
ROAD PROBLEM.

Nallroads are not private property,
but public agencies. They are per-
mitted to be constructed for the public
convenience and in building them,
corporations are allowed TO use tho
state porer to condemn private prop.
or,y for public Usc. Private property
cannot be condemned for pricttc use,
wen by the State; aud oHly the Staio
can condemn It for pujlic use, Thus 1t
is clear that the State alone can build
q railroad. 1t may build It directly
through contracts with individuals, and
take all tolls itself or tmay build the
road through the agency Of u railway
CORPORATION, aud allow the latter to
take such tolls as may be allowed by
law. Said Judge jeremiah 5 Black,
whose ability and learning none will
dispute;
It Is au error to IN alntaln that railways
ere the property Of the companies author
ized to run them.
A public highway cannot be private
property, and a railroad laid out and built
by the authority Of the State for the purposes
Of commerce IS as much public highway
as turnpike road, canal or navi gable
river. 1t is the duty OF the State TO
promote Intercourse and trade by making
highways OF the best sort through her ter
Titory.
To this end she may take land and ma
terial, whlrh Is an exercise Of the power OF
eminent domain. She can build railway
at her own expense, using the direct agency
OF her own officers, aud after It is built she
can make 1t free to all comers, or reimburse
the cost by special tax on individuals who
have occasion to use IL. She can delegate
the taking and taxing powers to u corpora
tion or natural person, and that is what
she does when she grants railroad charter.
But In either or any case the road belongs
to the State, and all the people have right
to use II upon compliance with necessary
regulations aud payment Of the proper tax.
The corporations who have got into
the habit Of calling themselves the owners
Of the railroads, have no proprietary right
title'or claim TO the roads themselves, but a
mere franchise annexed TO and exercisable
thereon. They arc the agents OF the
State for the performance OF public duty
If the franchise be forfeited or surrendered,
or II 1t expire by etllux of time, the State
takes possession OF the road and runs 1t her
self or employs a new agent. The com
pany cannot keep the road any more than
am outgoing collector of port can appro-
pirate to himself the Custom House
where he did his official work. The State
having need for public highway at par
ticular place, makes contract with cor
poration to open and put It in condition tC
he used; aud by way Of rcimbursing tn.
builders and operators, Sue authorizes tay
upon those who travel or carry III .rchsn
disc over It.
Let these words be pon1ered by Sen
ators who stand in awe of the bolt
barons of our modern foudalism, aui
who suppose that those mighty dis
pensers of seats in the Senate really
own the public highways of the land
The people, and not the railroad cor
Iorations are sovereign. No man car
serve two masters.

BEEcHER ALSO A HERETO.

The question of probation after death,
about which the Andover thcologians
are so much exercised, has long siuce
ceased TO agitate the free,and-easy
theology of Plymouth Church. AS
for Mr.. Beecher, such question
simply cxcites his ridicule. What a
piclkaninny matter!" he exclaims, yet
thtre was time, and not so very far
antedating the ministerial career of
Mr.. Beecher's own father, when no
orthodox preacher in the United States
would have dared 10 make that re.
mark. 1t would have cost the rash
hereto his pulpit aud he would have
been cast into the outer darkness as
worse than an infdcl. AndOver would
have felt like burning him at the stake.
Yet the Audover Of to day is cling
ing with all the tenaclly of three quar-.
ters Of a century ago to the same creed
of which the pastor of Plymouth 50
contemptuously speaks. I'VE shall
find after death he says, that we
are all imperfect; that death is but a
step forward in the great life. We
must kill the old idea of mechanical
dying, after which q man goes direct
TO Heaven, perfect and angelic
There is much more consolation in
this doctrine, because II gives the poor
sinner chance, which il inexorably
denied him by the non probatlonlsts.
To most people the old.time belief Is
of such nature that 1t constitutes the
very fact Of their living at all an ap.
palling and irreparable calamity.
Whether Mr.. Beecher knows any
fling more than John Calvin did about
the matter of which the whole world
for nearly nineteen hundred years has
been kept In profound ignorance Is not
the question. lie says himself that he
can give no proof that there is any in.
termedlary stage or existence, or "half-
way house between this world and
final Immortality" Neither can any
proof be adduced that there Is not. 1t
is all matter Of faith, and the faith

THE terrible railroad casualty in
Ohio yesterday suggests not only
greater care in management, more
caution in the selection of employees,
the use of more seryiccabe engines and
doubled facilities for transportation,
but also the Importance of providing in
some way for the registry of passen-
gers. One Of the most distressing
features of o railway casualty Is the
suspense 1t creates throughout the
country, sometimes lasting for days, as
TO the identity of the dead and in
jurcd. 1t would cost little something
and cause more or less trouble, but the
advantages Of keeping list of passen-
gers, either at the stations where they
buy their tickets or by the conductors

regarded.
